What Moves the Price of a Roof
We do not put a number on a roof we have not stood on. The figure comes from measuring your roof and seeing its condition up close. These are the things that move it, and knowing them makes any estimate easier to read, ours included.
Your free estimate is written line by line after we have been on the roof. If something new turns up once the old shingles are off, we show you and explain it before any added work begins.
- Size and pitch
- Roofs are measured in squares, each one 100 square feet. A steeper roof needs more safety setup and slower, careful footing, which adds labor.
- Layers coming off
- Some older roofs have a second layer of shingles nailed over the first. Both come off before new work starts, and the extra weight adds to disposal.
- Decking underneath
- The plywood or plank boards under the shingles cannot be fully judged until tear-off. Soft or rotted sections are replaced sheet by sheet, and we put that per-sheet cost on the estimate in advance so it is never a surprise.
- The shingle you choose
- Three-tab, architectural and heavier designer shingles differ in weight, wind rating, look and expected life. We bring samples and talk through the tradeoffs honestly, including when the upgrade is not worth it for your home.
- Flashing and ventilation
- Chimneys, skylights, valleys and wall joints all need flashing. Adding ice and water shield along the eaves, useful through northern Kentucky freeze-thaw winters, or improving attic airflow adds cost but protects the roof deck.
- Permits and access
- Permit requirements vary by town, and we handle that paperwork when it applies. A tight lot or a long carry to the dumpster can also add time.
Roofing and Exterior Work for Your Home
Our work covers the outer shell that keeps water out of your home: roof replacement and roof repair, roof inspections, storm damage repair, gutters and siding. Roofing Edgewood is licensed and insured, and the installation work we do is backed by a 10-year labor warranty. On each service page you will find what that job involves, what usually wears out first and which choices you have. If you are unsure which one fits, a free roof inspection is a sensible first step.
Roof Replacement
A new roof from the decking up, with each material choice and every line of the price gone over with you before any work is scheduled.
Roof Repair
Cracked pipe boots, loose flashing, lifted shingles and soft decking found at the source and repaired to blend with the roof you already have.
Roof Inspections
We check shingles, flashing, vents, attic and gutters, then go through every finding with you in photos and everyday words.
Storm Damage Repair
After hail or high wind, we check your roof, gutters and siding, photograph what we find and tell you in plain terms what needs repair and what can wait.
Gutters
One-piece aluminum gutters, downspouts and guards sized to your roof, with the fascia checked and every option explained before you choose.
Siding
Siding repair and replacement, with each material's upkeep, look and lifespan explained before you choose.
How We Work With You
Most people buy a roof once or twice in their lives. We think you should understand yours well before you spend money on it.
- 01
Findings before recommendations
We walk the roof, check the attic when it is reachable and photograph what we see. You get the photos, and we go through each one with you before we talk about price.
- 02
Trade words, translated
Drip edge, step flashing, ice and water shield. We use those terms only when we also say what the part does and why it matters on your home. Ask as many questions as you like.
- 03
An honest repair-or-replace answer
A worn roof is not always a finished one. When patching the trouble spot is the better use of your money, we tell you so, give you a fair sense of how long it should last and name the signs to keep an eye on afterward.
- 04
Estimates you can read
Tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and disposal are priced as separate items on paper. That makes it easy to follow the money and to weigh our number fairly against any other bid.
- 05
Care at the edges
Tarps go over plantings, ladders rest on padding instead of bare siding, and we run a magnet over the yard for nails each evening. The finish at the eaves and ridge is what you see from the driveway for years, so we take our time there.

How a Roof Job Runs, Start to Finish
Knowing the order of things takes most of the stress out of a roof project. Here is what you can expect from us.
- 1
A phone call and a visit
You phone us, we agree on a time, and we come out for a free estimate. We look over the roof, the gutters and the attic if it is accessible, and take photos as we go.
- 2
Your estimate, line by line
We sit down with you, go through the photos and cover every item on the written estimate. There is no pressure to decide that day.
- 3
The work days
We protect the yard and siding, tear off the old roof, check the decking and replace what is soft. Then come underlayment, flashing, shingles and ridge vents. Many replacements on a typical home take one to two days, depending on weather and size.
- 4
A last pass together
Every scrap of old roofing goes into the dumpster and off your property, and the nail magnet makes one more trip across the lawn and driveway. Then we walk around the house with you, point out the finished details and hand over photos of the work, including the layers now hidden under the shingles.
A Roofing Company That Shows Its Work
Roofing Edgewood is a local roofing and exterior company serving Edgewood and the towns around it. We work from a simple belief: a homeowner who understands the roof makes better decisions, and the better decision is often the less expensive one.
We spend real time on the parts most people never see, like how each shingle is nailed, how flashing laps over the layer below it and how the attic breathes. Those details decide whether a roof lasts its full life or starts leaking early. You can read more about our approach on the About page.

Questions Homeowners Ask Us
- How do I know whether I need a repair or a whole new roof?
- It depends on the age of the roof, how widespread the wear is and the condition of the decking. A few lifted shingles or a failed pipe boot can usually be repaired. Granule loss across every slope, curling edges and soft spots underfoot point toward replacement. We show you photos of what we see and explain which way we would go and why.
- What does the free estimate include?
- We inspect the roof surface, flashing, vents and gutters, and look in the attic when we can reach it. You get photos, a plain description of what each one shows and a written line-item estimate. There is no charge and no obligation.
- Will my homeowners insurance cover storm damage?
- Sometimes. Insurers generally cover sudden damage from wind or hail, not wear from age. We document what we find with photos and explain whether it looks like storm damage or normal aging. The adjuster makes the coverage decision, and we can be there for that visit if you would like.
- What warranty comes with your work?
- Our work carries a 10-year labor warranty. It applies to the installation itself, so if a problem traces back to how we put something on, we return and put it right. Coverage on the shingles and other materials comes from their manufacturer, and we go over those terms with you at the estimate.
- Do I need to be home while you work?
- Not the whole time. We like to talk with you at the start of the first day and walk the finished job with you at the end. Expect noise from tear-off, and it helps to move cars out of the driveway and take down anything hanging on interior walls under the roof.
- Do you also work on gutters and siding?
- Yes. Gutters and siding are part of how water leaves your home, so we look at them during every roof visit. If they need attention, we lay out the options and price them separately so you can decide what to do and when.
- Do you have any current offers?
- Yes. We are currently running a Limited Time — $50 Off Your First Service Call. Bring it up while we are setting up your visit by phone, and we will apply it to that first call.
